Do the supporters of this ginned up war want wwiii to break out? Because that is a distinct possibility here. Let that sink in.

Iranian warship sunk by the US was sailing home after taking part in an exhibition hosted by India [View all] Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin Mar 5 OP

They should have made up an engine problem and stayed in Port EX500rider Mar 5 #1

Or gone to any port....or dropped their flag and flown a white flag. Melon Mar 5 #3

Don't blame the victim, this was an act of terrorism by the us Blues Heron Mar 5 #9

It was a warship...on its way back to the conflict area Melon Mar 5 #16

We're all targets now thanks to trumps illegal and immoral murder mission- totally unjustified killing Blues Heron Mar 5 #18

Apparently there was a 2nd Iranian naval vessel at the Maritime exercise... EX500rider Mar 5 #29

Why would Iran, knowing that it's in tense diplomatic times with 2 aircraft carriers at its door Melon Mar 5 #38

I assume it was planned way earlier and they thought they could bluff their way thru the talks EX500rider Mar 5 #46

Cowardly sucker punch, another 80 murders for Trumps peace prize account Blues Heron Mar 5 #2

What do you suggest , the submarine surface first? EX500rider Mar 5 #5

I suggest not murdering to cover up the Epstein files. Blowing that ship up is a piece of shit move Blues Heron Mar 5 #6

Letting it get in range of a US Carrier Group to use its anti-ship cruise missiles would have been a worse idea EX500rider Mar 5 #7

This message was self-deleted by its author Blues Heron Mar 5 #8

Disgusting! ruet Mar 5 #10

Frigates are not unarmed ships nt sarisataka Mar 5 #11

Very highly unlikely that it was unarmed hardluck Mar 5 #13

Internet trolls still defend it. Kingofalldems Mar 5 #15

Internet trolls pretend it was a unarmed warship EX500rider Mar 5 #21

the real internet trolls spread Iranian propaganda. WarGamer Mar 5 #53

How was a Iranian navy vessel "unarmed"? EX500rider Mar 5 #17

More and more posts are claiming fantasy as facts sarisataka Mar 5 #20

You know, one of those "unarmed warships", you've heard of those right? EX500rider Mar 5 #22

The nonsense was flying yesterday about the US running short of Tomahawk missiles... WarGamer Mar 5 #54

Noted Iranian propagandist Mark Hertling, who knows more than you do, seems concerned about overall munitions stock. BannonsLiver Mar 6 #68

Don't get me wrong... this could turn into Shrub's iraq... or maybe not. WarGamer Mar 6 #78

Yet some are defending it. AloeVera Mar 5 #30

It being a "unarmed warship" is pure BS EX500rider Mar 5 #47

"Blowing that ship up is a piece of shit move" EX500rider Mar 5 #19

What ever happened to warning shots across the bow? This seems needlessly vicious. No help to the survivors either Blues Heron Mar 5 #23

How does a sub do a "warning shot" across the bow? EX500rider Mar 5 #24

I'm hearing it was unarmed, having participated in joint exercises requiring ships to be unarmed Blues Heron Mar 5 #32

nonsense, they literally have live fire exercises during naval maneuvers EX500rider Mar 5 #33

here: EX500rider Mar 5 #34

There is no reason ships in such an operation sarisataka Mar 5 #37

The excercise it was in had live fire...... Melon Mar 6 #77

Well then by all means blast away! Send those poor bastards straight to Davey Jones locker! Blues Heron Mar 6 #80

How does a sub help survivors? EX500rider Mar 5 #28

That ship sailed. Happy Hoosier Mar 5 #31

that's blaming the victim, this was pure Trumpian bloodlust on display. Blues Heron Mar 5 #39

I doubt Trump was anywhere in the decision making EX500rider Mar 5 #48

Totally - like when... lame54 Mar 5 #14

Is a US navy sub protecting it's carrier group a "bank robber" somehow? EX500rider Mar 5 #25

If your in the middle of an illegal act... lame54 Mar 5 #42

So in your mind the sub should allow the Iranian War vessel to try to sink the US carrier that somehow better to you? EX500rider Mar 5 #43

In your mind... lame54 Mar 5 #44

The carrier is conducting air ops in the Arabian Sea, the Iranian warship was headed that way EX500rider Mar 5 #45

Maybe you can be... lame54 Mar 5 #55

Sinking enemy warships during a war is rarely a war crime EX500rider Mar 5 #56

It is an ironic inversion sarisataka Mar 5 #57

It's all fruit of a poison tree... lame54 Mar 6 #58

Doesn't make it a war crime EX500rider Mar 6 #60

Epstein. B.See Mar 5 #4

The craven excuses are almost as bad as the act itself Torchlight Mar 5 #12

No woke rules of war, for sure Easterncedar Mar 5 #26

Some serious bloodlust here. NoMoreRepugs Mar 5 #27

Both statements are BS hardluck Mar 5 #36

"US navy was invited but withdrew from participation at the last minute" not EX500rider Mar 5 #51

The Iranian Captain Needed to Know How to Read the Room OC375 Mar 5 #35

We are being told by our government that this is actually not a war. This was a terrorist act by the US Blues Heron Mar 5 #40

Don't care what Trump says, bro OC375 Mar 5 #41

So if the Iranian warship got in range and fired her missiles at US ship also a terrorist act? EX500rider Mar 5 #49

Self defense, duh Blues Heron Mar 5 #50

most wars have a aggressor on one side, that hardly makes it "terrorism" EX500rider Mar 5 #52

It's worse than terrorism, it's state sponsored terror. Blues Heron Mar 6 #62

Yeah no, it's just regular warfare EX500rider Mar 6 #64

It's like if you break into someone's house they can shoot you, it's self defense, you shoot them it's murder. Blues Heron Mar 6 #65

"In my opinion" is how you should have ended that EX500rider Mar 6 #66

In my opinion, yes Blues Heron Mar 6 #67

"how most normal people see this, it's why there's substantial outrage over this." EX500rider Mar 6 #69

Mostly trolls, obviously. Blues Heron Mar 6 #70

Oh I wouldn't go that far, no one has called you a troll, you're allowed your own opinion even if it's wrong EX500rider Mar 6 #72

Like Pearl Harbor was "just regular warfare"? WE ILLEGALLY BOMBED IRAN..... ColoringFool Saturday #82

Yes, Pearl Harbor was regular warfare. Jedi Guy Saturday #86

Iran is a evil terrorist supporting theocracy who recently killed 10,000 to 30,000 of her citizens just for protesting EX500rider Saturday #90

Iran is shooting at all nations ships OC375 Mar 6 #59

Interesting how that doesn't get called out... sarisataka Mar 6 #61

If you say so bro Blues Heron Mar 6 #63

So you defend Japan's kamikaze attacks post-Pearl Harbor? ...... ColoringFool Saturday #83

I don't have to defend Japan OC375 Saturday #87

What do Japanese kamikaze attacks have to do with anything regarding the war with Iran? Jedi Guy Sunday #91

This comparison makes utterly zero sense sarisataka Sunday #92

So this is the part where further Japanese aggression post-PH is acceptable? ColoringFool Saturday #84

You're defending the attack on Pearl Harbor as acceptable? OC375 Saturday #88

For everyone's information - the ship that was sunk was not on its way back to Iran, or "the carrier group" muriel_volestrangler Mar 6 #71

Highly unlikely the sub knew anything about that EX500rider Mar 6 #73

I think subs can tell which direction a ship is going, and its speed muriel_volestrangler Mar 6 #74

"sink the bastard, it's Iranian" That's generally how wars go, yes. EX500rider Mar 6 #75

It had been just outside their maritime zone for days. It wasn't going anywhere. muriel_volestrangler Mar 6 #76

"If it's war, it's illegal - Congress has not authorised it" Might want to read the War Powers Act EX500rider Mar 6 #79

The War Powers Resolution is not to allow a president to wage general war for 60 days muriel_volestrangler Saturday #81

There's allegedly video of the sinking. Hugin Saturday #89

If you saw the video sarisataka Sunday #93
